moose for some reason people who never show any interest in sport in UK become tennis fans for two weeks every June. Bonkers. Then any UK hope in hyped through the retractable roof.

Kronos Quartet do a snappy version of Marquee Moon.

@moose Yes, I like Bartoli but I also really like Lisicki. Its either win-win or lose-lose for me today.

and according to judah friedlander
"I guess if you work for a giant corporation and you've lived here for more than six weeks, you're a New Yorker now. I think I used to know what it meant to be a New Yorker. I guess if you don't eat at Cosi sandwich shop you're a real New Yorker. If you don't go to Hopstop.com to find your way around the city, you're a real New Yorker. If you make too much noise on the sidewalk at night and bother people living in overpriced apartments, you're a real New Yorker. If you get mugged, and then immediately go eat a slice with the money hidden in your sock that they did not steal from you, you're a real New Yorker. If you cross the street wherever and whenever you want, you're a New Yorker. And if you walk fast, you're a New Yorker. Nobody walks fast in this city anymore. Everyone walks slow, and then goes to Equinox."

judah friedlander's quote is funny, because if you replace "if" by "baguette" it work for Paris to.

@still b/p: And the press release also stated Campbell will still perform. I guess the family thinks they need the money, kinda like the Sinatras for all those years when Frankie was singing pitifully off a teleprompter.

That is not only the correct answer, but also, exactly what makes a New Yorker. Ira Glass wins today.

Pierre, that's easily the funniest thing I've read/heard all day. I think if you replace "if" with "nn-tss-nn-tss-nn-tss" then it works for DC.

thanks dc pat, i find it difficult to tell "jokes" in english, my sense of humour (if existing…) is not quite the same while speaking in english. for this non-sense i'll put the credit on my tired mind. I love the "nn-tss-nn-tss-nn-tss" of DC

one more quote on being a new yorker from colson whitehead, ans somewhat related to what patell is saying about nostalgia:

No matter how long you have been here, you are a New Yorker the first time you say, ''That used to be Munsey's'' or ''That used to be the Tic Toc Lounge.'' That before the Internet cafe plugged itself in, you got your shoes resoled in the mom-and-pop operation that used to be there. You are a New Yorker when what was there before is more real and solid than what is here now."

@ Brian in UK - And to tie that together, the last time the first incarnation of Television played together, they opened for Roxy Music at the Paladium (or was it the Academy of Music) on 14th street. Kind of an odd mix in the crowd.

Hi, Derick -- missed that comment before. Yeah, one of the surprises for me was how much history of sexuality made its way into this project. I hadn't planned it with that in mind.

Kees, Nijmegen (NL):
Another 2 cents, mine. The punk thing during the seventies was more like a rebellion of younger sister & brothers vs. the older lot, and less a generation-thing. I'm starting to think that more and more. It explains the veneration of the Stones, and the rivalry at the same time, a lot. The real generational break came with No New York & Hard Core.

Thanks for the show today.
